Te laudo, Puella, quam vir Dominum laudet -

Te laudo, Puella, quam vir Dominum laudet -
sed femina Domini non es.

in somno, dices ut Juppiter est tuus pater,
Juno est tua mater, et luna soror tua est.

credo ut omnes res tu es,
et mundo conjunx es -
ut carpes vitam ex mundo
bibere dulcem rem -

simul amor viri Domino.


Translation:
Girl, i praise you as man praises the Lord -
but you are not a woman of the Lord.

in sleep, you say that Jupiter is your father,
Venus is your mother, and the moon is your sister.

i believe that you are all things,
and that you are a wife to the earth -
as you pluck life form the earth
to drink the sweet thing -

like the love of man for God.
